The vallum encloses an area of circa 10 acres. It is visible as an upstanding monument to the west of the public road which runs northwards to the west of the abbey. This upstanding west side appears as a large, earthen rampart with external ditch and counterscarp bank. It is traceable from the north-west corner to the mill stream and is clearly visible passing along the western brow of Cnoc nam Carnan. The north and south sides of the vallum are visible as cropmarks while the east is presumed to follow the edge of the raised beach to the immediate east of the abbey.
